Military Education

A research-driven 36-credit master's that examines crime in its social, legal, psychological, and environmental context rather than treating it as a policing problem alone. Six 11-week courses build advanced criminological theory, qualitative and quantitative research methods, legal foundations and justice policy, and an understanding of violent behavior and trauma-informed systems, finishing with an applied capstone in original research or policy analysis. Electives let students concentrate in terrorism and state-sponsored violence, cybercrime and digital risk, environmental criminology, victimology, comparative international justice, or crime prevention and policy design. Eighteen months, classes capped at 15 students, and a $550 per credit hour rate for military and first responders.

Students can shape the degree through electives in digital storytelling and exhibit design, cultural resource management, oral history and community engagement, historic preservation and archival practice, and museum studies. Eighteen months, $550–$725 per credit hour, no GRE or GMAT required, and up to 12 transfer credits accepted.

Program Information

A 12-credit graduate certificate that examines how information is weaponized as an instrument of statecraft and conflict. Two 11-week courses: Information Warfare: Theory and Practice, and Cognitive Warfare and the Information Domain. Cover the fundamental principles of information warfare as different countries conceptualize it, the role of cyber-enabled capabilities including artificial intelligence and foreign malign influence, and threat models built around the capabilities of adversaries including Russia, China, Iran, the DPRK, and violent extremist organizations. Twenty-two weeks total, and a bachelor's degree in any field with a 2.50 GPA is all that's required to start. Credits earned apply toward Norwich's Master of Science in Cybersecurity.
